We had the possibility of not having any Baseball games today, but the Cubs and Phillies stay alive in their respective Divisional series. The Blue Jays are the first team to advance after eliminating the Yankees and will host Detroit or Seattle. Bobby enters today's NLDS action on a 3-1 (+$220) run, while Jay is on a 10-5 (+$587) run. You can find our picks for both games below.

We had a few upsets in the NHL last night and we were all over it. Jay went 3-1 (+$420), including a +165 winner on the Bruins and +195 winner on the Flames. Jay and Bobby will have their Best Bets and free picks every single day through the Stanley Cup. We have our free picks for all 14 games on today's schedule, including two Best Bets.
